Silver Salt Spoon with an A. Bechtler Gold $1, Kagin-24, as Spoon Bowl. VF or so.
Both sides of the coin are boldly toned, perhaps as a result of constant exposure to table salt. The ornate silver handle is forked where it meets the coin, with a five-twirl twist at the handle’s end. As unusual as it is rare, and from an era when not every person could afford to take a one dollar gold coin and turn it into a household utensil.
We know of no others.

Ex: From the Allen Collection.
